How do I keep someone away from my son?

So my younger bother is 17, lives with his girlfriends parents, drinks and smokes,& is a habitual thief and liar. The second to last time I'd seen him, he broke into my car and stole 150$ worth of things from my car. Including a 40$ bottle of Victoria Secret lotion I'd gotten as an anniversary gift that he used on his feet.An authentic Moroccan prayer mat that he was using to wipe his feet on,& gifts my mother had given me. He denied it but my little sister went into his room and gave as much of it back as she could find. The last time I'd seen him he Called me out accusing me of stealing change from my stepmothers change jar (I had 800$ cash in my pocket because I had 5 jobs at the time) so no reason to steal nickels and dimes. I am staying with my parents for a few months with my son and my brother (James) had contacted my SM saying he will be over on his gf's next day off to see Jaxon. I have told him and his gf that James is not allowed near me or my son. I don't want him introduced to anyone like James. &I don't want James to start to feel like he can be a part of my sons life. James had sent me a public post on FB saying that I was being a ***** and that he is 'allowed to see his nephew and I can't keep him from it' and continued to curse at me and say 'watch me there's nothing you can do about it'. I gave him multiple warnings that he is not allowed near me or my son. I even stated multiple times that I will call the police if he tries to get near me and that I will file harassment if he tried to contact me again. So basically, how do I make sure he isn't allowed I be near my son? Will the police do anything if I call them when he shows up? Can I press harassment charges if he keeps contacting me after me asking him not to?Ijust feel extremely uncomfortable about him being around my son because I know it's not to just see him. He would be here to start drama and harass my child. I don't want a bad influence like him anywhere near my baby...what can I do?!??

I would definitely call the police and see what your options are! I don't know if you can get a restraining order without him actually harming you or your son, but the stealing would probably qualify. You should take a screen shot of the facebook incident as well if it hasn't already been deleted, that is proof of harassment. Good luck! I dont know how some people can be so ****ty, especially to family!

you are his mother and whatever u say goes! you have the right to dictate who is and isnt allowed around your son..now if your parents dont mind him in the house there is nothing you can do since its their house but if so then when he comes you leave or go to your part of the house and let it be known not to f^&k with you..no speaking u dont have to explain yourself to anybody a mothers intuition is the best! hopefully everything works out!

He is 17. I dont think you should push him away. Clearly he needs help. That is your younger brother and why is he 17 living with a gf? Where are your parents? Guidance has been lost. Maybe supervised visits w your son is best til trust is regained but I dont think you should further tear him away from his family. The boy needs help.

And he doesn't need help. He's been offered help and he won't take take it. He was bought a vehicle and my parents payed for his yr of insurance and he took all of that with him. And 17 is plenty old enough to know what ur doing and the difference between wrong and right.
